Max Report - a God thing in more ways than one!

Yesterday I posted about my boy's very sick puppy, Max. Originally, I thought, "how silly to ask prayer for a puppy" - but then I realized how important Max is to my boys and how important my boys are to God. God really does care about the "little" things in our lives.

Anyhow, now for the report. Max was regurgitating through his nose, having trouble breathing...honestly, I thought he was about to die. I rushed him to the vet. The vet didn't know what was wrong with him and kept him to give Max him steroids, antibiotics, oxygen, etc.

Mid-morning, the vet's assistant called saying they didn't know what had happened, no explanation, but Max is totally fine...pick him up whenever I wanted.

Hmmm, is it ok to praise God for answered prayers about a puppy? I think so.

My lesson in this? Everything in our lives is important to our Father!

BTW - that's Max on the left, Chloe in the middle and Gracie on the right.

One life will soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last!

Brother, it's never silly to ask for prayer for one of God's creatures. The Lord gives us these pets as companions and as an opportunity to share unconditional love.

Let us share one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

I'll bet more of us have these stories than don't. I prayed for my cocker spaniel who had gone in to liver failure. The vet said he'd have to be euthanized in the morning. I was out of town. My husband told the vet he didn't think Jake looked like an animal ready to die, so please wait. He made a miraculous recovery. I know it's the heart of my prayer. I cried and everything. Those are the ones that seem to get answered the quickest. I pointed out what a great example Jake was of Christ's unconditional love, etc. I didn't make anything up. I believed it.

I've been watching for a Max report! Praise the Lord! I bet he just got into something - no telling what! BTW, how old is Max??

Tell Max Rufus is glad he's feeling much better!

GBY!
